How to Find the Best Sonicare Brush Head for You
Philips offers nine different Sonicare brush head designs, most labelled with a letter and number combination for easier identification. Below are some of the popular ones.
Sonicare ProResults Gum Health
This is Philips’ flagship toothbrush head, compatible with all models. It provides all-around cleaning, especially for gum care. It has a contoured profile that naturally fits the teeth’s shape and enhances overall plaque removal compared to manual toothbrushes. The ProResults has since been rebranded to G2 Optimal gum care and will soon be phased out with the introduction of the G3 Premium Gum Care.
Sonicare C2 Optimal Plaque Defense

This Sonicare head is designed to eliminate plaque and is seven times more effective than a manual brush at doing so. Its uniquely curved power tip makes it easier to reach teeth in the back of your mouth.
Sonicare W2 Optimal White
If you’re looking for whiter teeth, this brush head is ideal, promising a 100% whiter smile in just seven days. Its diamond-shaped bristles also help maintain brightness between professional whitening treatments.
Sonicare C3 Premium Plaque Defense
This brush head is Philips’ “deepest cleaning” option, removing up to ten times more plaque than a regular manual toothbrush due to its flexible sides and unique bristle pattern, which provides four times more surface contact.
Sonicare G3 Premium Gum Care
If you have sensitive gums, this brush head is designed to absorb excess cleaning pressure, protect your gums, and remove plaque along the gum line.
Sonicare A3 Premium All-in-One
This brush head caters to those who want an all-in-one toothbrush. It removes 20x more plaque than a manual toothbrush while eliminating stains and caring for your gums.
Rebranding of Sonicare Brush Heads
Recently, many Sonicare brush head models have undergone rebranding, leading to different names in online stores. Here is a list of brush heads that have recently been renamed:
- Sonicare W2 Optimal White was DiamondClean
- Sonicare G2 Optimal Gum Care is a rebrand from its former Proresults gum health name.
- Sonicare C2 Optimal Plaque Defense was ProResults Plaque Control.
How Sonicare Brush Heads Work
Before delving into the different brush heads available, it’s essential to understand how Sonicare brush heads function. Philips’ Sonicare range of brush heads employs sideway motion, with the latest models able to achieve up to 31,000 strokes per minute, referred to as sonic motion. On the other hand, Philips’ competitor, Oral-B, utilizes an oscillating-rotating power mechanism and a frictionless magnetic drive system in its electric toothbrushes, which consumes more energy than Sonicare devices but still feels sonic. All the rebranded top-range brush heads work with a premium feature called brushSync which has a chip that will auto-pair your brush head to the respective cleaning mode you are using. They also remind you to renew your brush head after three months’ of use.
What is BrushSync Tech?
When looking to replace your Philips electric toothbrush head, you should consider BrushSync technology. This radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology is embedded in newer Sonicare brush heads and tracks the duration of use, alerting you when it’s time to replace the brush head. While some Sonicare brush heads feature this technology, others do not.
In conclusion, choosing the right Sonicare brush head is crucial for your oral hygiene routine. With BrushSync technology tracking your usage and up to 31,000 strokes per minute, Philips Sonicare offers a wide range of brush heads catering to different needs. Whether you’re looking for a plaque-fighting head or a brighter smile, Philips has the perfect toothbrush head
